coming up in the next sixty minutes. warning from iran it says there's a great risk of conflict with. the u.s. special representative. draw of troops. and consultation with allies. unprecedented preparations for a visit. and the u.s.

tons of colombia destined for. a president. that will never cross the border. changing the. one point three. victory. iran's foreign minister has laid is that there is heightened risk of conflict with israel speaking at a major security conference in germany mohammed jobs raves that israel is looking for conflict with iran he also criticized what he called washington's obsession with his country after u.s. president mike pence called on us to withdraw from the twenty fifty nuclear deal. certainly some people are looking for war we are in syria who is looking israel we

are in syria on the invitation of the syrian government for the sole purpose of fighting terrorism no other no other reason for our being there i think last i checked international law while waiting lebanon's airspace and shooting into syria is a violation of international law and the international community and of all people in europe which believes international law as the foundations of international order is blaming us and not blaming the israelis for violating international law so this very cup so the risk is greater risk is great but risk will be even greater if you continue to turn a blind eye to severe while issues of international law let's go now to our correspondent a model child who is joining us live from munich really strong words from mama chavez that a what else did you have to say and how much of that is in response you know to the constant attacks from both the u.s. and israel. well as with i mean it's so good to be

taken to the context of this continued push both by the americans. to further their narrative as to what's been taking place not just in the middle east but also who pours it poses rather a greater threat to international security instability the americans have been. pretty much focused on the iranian threats iranian meddling in the arab all the rainy and supports for groups that they view as terrorists in washington and therefore the continuous discourse that the americans have been pushing has been one that is that iran needs to be combated through sanctions and even possibly through some sort of military confrontation there indians however have been saying well actually it is the united states and the united states is support for what they consider to be terrorist groups states meddling in our countries that is the stabilizing the situation and essentially the middle ground may be that they're trying to fight over is that's old europe europe obviously was part of this iran

nuclear deal that was conjured up by the united states europeans as well as ratified by the united nations one that donald trump has withdrawn from and the arabians essentially through their foreign minister today was telling the europeans if you genuinely do not agree with unilateralism that is essentially the policy of going gets a loan that the trumpet ministration has been pursuing then you've got to get ready and actually put your money where your mouth is and ensure that you stick to this deal and how european leaders are responding to that constant pressure from the u.s. and israel to be on iran so far at least they are very much in the new clinton as much as they can be after the u.s. withdrawal. well the europeans i mean their position probably was set out clearest by german chancellor angela merkel when she spoke roughly twenty four hours ago and she was saying well yes we know that iran is

developing weapons we know that iran does have unsavory policy is one that we don't agree with however it is suze the deal that's leverage can be applied on ships iran in order to kind of bring it in line with the kind of global order that western countries are trying to push for it would appear that the europeans are not in favor of some sort of confrontation in the policy by the fact that they are a manifestation that they consume you to be part of this deal in fact are looking at ways to go around the economic sanctions that washington has been imposing on the run in order to ensure that the deal survives but really beyond all of this if we're to look at actual security and stability from an objective perspective it is both european both american and iranian interference in countries that is the stabilizing them so when you're talking about syria or the amount of people being killed a country that's been destroyed purely so that's iran and russia can ensure that

their proxy through bashar al assad remains in power when you look at iraq and the devastation caused there because of u.s. invasion and occupation there are so wherever really you look at in terms of security and stability objective observers will say it is easier iranian interference or american interference that is causing instability and there's still yet to be a voice inside the munich security council or conference rather which is calling for maybe. a push for dialogue a push for lack of interference military interference in countries and what this are insured for self-determination and freedom of those countries and jamal you are at the munich security conference so what else is on the agenda this year. well there's been a lot of talk about how we see the future of european american relations obviously the iran deal is something that's maybe brought them apart but also when we're talking about for example climate change climate change the europeans view that as

a much more serious threat than this current us administration does there's been talk about cyber security obviously something that is becoming more and more important not just because of you know alleged interference in terms of elections through our you know online bots and all of these other things but also as we saw for example the trigger that was used for the gulf crisis where by the musicians he was hired by the saudis and immoralities there's been talk obviously about issues in terms of food security and other things so it's a broader agenda that looks at the challenges that are being faced by the international community when it comes to security and stability however on the agenda even though it is a lot more poor listing in terms of its representation than other summits it is still very much driven by specific discourse which is more centered within kind of western europe as well as the united states is agenda to protecting kind of worse than liberal government systems and maybe lax having

a more diverse opinion being presented let's say by developing countries not necessarily through their leaders but at least through movements that are there jamal thank you very much for that for now that is jim and child with all the latest from the munich security conference thank you. now the u.s. special representative to syria says the withdrawal of american troops won't be abrupt or rapid james jeffrey insists it will be a step by step process speaking at the munich security conference he addressed concerns from allies of the president trumps decision to pull out two thousand troops from syria. first of all this is not going to be an abrupt or rapid withdrawal it's going to be an auto step by step withdrawal and at each point at each phase we're going to look at our underlying goals that i just laid out and ensure that we have means capabilities and partners that can carry them out for us so that's the first thing and of course people are always worried whenever there's

a change in american policy because we're a big security player and. we are consulting very carefully and very closely with them if they felt that they weren't consulted enough initially we're doing our very very best to night and day that's going to talk cost funded and run column he's joining us live from gaza on tech near the turkish syrian border as anything of what the u.s. special weapons that represent us have for syria said going to reassure allies there in munich and iran as the fighting continues over the border from here. well what those words are going to do is give the europeans poles for thoughts there's a lot of concern from america's european allies that that they were going to simply abruptly withdrawal from syria those two thousand troops just simply pull out and abandon the syrian democratic forces who have done much of the fighting against eisel so it's really about reassuring the european allies whether it will work or

not remains to be seen because we haven't had much detail on what the withdrawal actually means is the timeline there's no actual plan that's been presented at least publicly anyway about the u.s. withdrawal on the ground however the democratic forces will be concerned about the u.s. pulling out because as i say they are backed by they are backed by the u.s. in the fighting for the last on klav plave in syria is continuing. he's the spokesman for the syrian democratic forces he's been speaking to the a.p. news agency and he says the fighting has become much more difficult because in effect eisel are using civilians some one thousand civilians he says trapped in that village as human shields i still have dug tunnels underneath the village and that's where they are hiding and the villages the civilians are above ground making the fight much more difficult so there's a lot of concern about what the u.s.

might do when it comes to pulling out however the fight against arsenal in that. village kill still continues and it will continue for at least a couple of days according to some analysts however the s.t.'s said they will be good news and that's that was don't mind comes and president trump saying there's good news as well you know that caliphate caliphate is all but defeated and that this is the time eight hundred for europe to take back. and put them on trial and how concerned do you think you know opinion leaders will be by that statement. well firstly if any speak clarification on what that statement actually means does this mean that the u.s. is holding eight hundred fighters from france germany and britain that need to go back to those countries as the us is insisting or are these fighters that have been captured in recent operations there's

a lack of detail that i think will be concerning the europeans also this one of international law says that local laws as well i mean if for example in britain's case they've said that they won't take back isis fighters however i saw wives with children if they can reach a consular services section's embassies in turkey or in iraq they will be given the services but they've left it very vague in fact he actually one of the senior ministers for the conservative party the ruling party in britain said he's against any of those people coming back that went and joined the islamic states and went to live in the islamic state so you have to understand that there are local laws from france germany and britain that will have an impact on all of this but because of the vagueness of the statement it's really up to the to the americans or clarify what they actually mean by this and that will be what the europeans will take a serious look at iran thank you very much for that for now that is a man caught it live and ghazi on tap now tom brokaw's is the date and professor of no one government the university of north pole and he says that it might not be as

easy as donald trump things for european countries to take eyeful president and prosecute them well he certainly wants other countries to pick up the tab i mean is this claim facts the fight is one hundred percent over yet there was all this other work to be done by others suggests that it isn't one hundred percent over. and that there's this fundamental tension in what he was trying to communicate on that point but in terms of getting europe to somehow do more it's not exactly clear what the expectation will be so for example for most european countries for most countries they will have low. laws about their citizens or people who reside in their territory that relate to activity in those countries so british citizens or people who live in britain in the things they do in the u.k. are what would normally be the subject of parliament and not so much what things

what activities people will be involved with outside that's very different in the united states where they have prosecuted successfully under very wide powers not americans who've never been to america who've been engaged in terrorist related offenses elsewhere this happened who is extradited from britain to the united states where he is currently in prison and so this call for the europeans to be doing things it seems the americans are able to do it the americans are probably better able to prosecute they want to enter choosing not to which is seems to be very high. saudi state media say yemen's houthi rebels have killed at least nine saudi soldiers in a renewed military offensive the attacks happened in the southern provinces of a say to james allen and russia and it is the worst spate of violence since a un brokered peace deal was signed in december priyanka gupta reports. fierce fighting in the northern front lines of yemen who the rebels say they have launched

major attacks on saw the u.a.e. backed forces across the border in saudi arabia over the past three days a number of saudi soldiers were killed and the military positions captured according to who the media sources saudi media is also reporting the deaths of soldiers who he say the attacks will not stop and yet mr miller are watching our operations will continue and in the coming days the lot of violence further as the war on yemen continues and the coalition continues to violate their obligations and promises under the hood data agreement the army and resistance fighters have no alternative but to continue to fight and intensify their tactical operations. this is the first significant escalation in violence since the u.n. brokered cease fire deal was signed in sweden last december the head of the u.n. mission tasked with implementing that deal in the port city of hadera that is trying to stop the conflict from getting any worse but the realities on the ground

are a sobering reminder of the challenges this agreement was sort of blown upside down by focusing on sunday the. bourses a major humanitarian access and that's fine but if you say a ceasefire in her day and it's ok to have. ongoing war and the rest of the country that's not a good thing and this is the consequence of the fighting for millions of yemenis go back and her family were forced to live under a tree after escaping by my. the saudi border starvation has weakened her so much that this twelve year old now weighs just ten kilos for twenty two million yemenis who desperately need aid to survive while fighting even more suffering it looks like both sides are not very serious about ending the war and it seems that yemen

the un envoy to yemen mr martin griffiths is going to have to pull a lot more weight on putting pressure on to these parties meaning that he's going to have to rely on the british government and the american government and to saying that hey the international community here wants peace and therefore that's what's going to happen politicians in the u.k. and the u.s. are stepping up pressure to stop exporting arms to saudi arabia with the hope of preventing the world's worst humanitarian crisis from get even worse. to see her. plans for tech giant amazon to expand into saudi arabia are under threat because of a dispute between the company's c.e.o. and the saudi crown prince and twenty seventeen amazon announced it was planning to build several dr centers in the kingdom as part of its expansion in the middle east last year crown prince mohammed bin solomon met amazon boss to face during a trip to the u.s. but analysts say plans are now on hold after baseball's accused to sell these of

being involved in leaking his private phone messages and photos. the plenty more ahead on the news hour including a.t.f. since protests led to the death of libyan leader moammar gadhafi how much has changed the country we will be live in the capital tripoli. security forces an indian administered kashmir and points of curfew off to an attack that killed dozens of troops and coming up in the peto this action from the wall skating championships as mccain a chef and ads yet another gold medal to a collection. security has been stepped up in pakistan ahead of a visit by saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin arrive on sunday for a two day visit. a royal welcome for saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin selman pakistan and saudi arabia have long been allies but this is the

first visit for the crown prince since he became heir to the throne u.k. want to put on a solid to put on a both but they are old friends and their policies are in favor of pakistan. they will increase their wealth by investing in pakistan this is useless for our people. prime minister imran khan wants to make a good impression. and is looking to. one is that backpage point is called mint and the country cannot because second is foreign direct investment khans overture comes as much of the world has either shunned criticized or chosen to keep an arm's length from the crown prince both turkish and american security agencies have concluded that mohamed bin salmen ordered the murder of washington post columnist jamal khashoggi the veteran journalist was killed and dismembered inside the saudi consulate in istanbul last october khan

just two months into his tenure never joined the global chorus of outrage against the kingdom and the prince. later that month he was one of a few leaders to attend a financial summit in saudi arabia a pet project of bin solomon intended to elevate the country's image and promote foreign investment there would be no political cost for him to muster could quote him at the moment it's not their fault it was the world thinking the crown prince plans to show his appreciation by injecting billions of dollars into pakistan's economy. since the nine eleven attacks pakistan has been viewed as a vital player in combat ing armed groups and maintaining regional security but overlooked when it comes to foreign investment prime minister khan is banking on the fact that where saudi money is invested other countries might follow natasha

can aim al-jazeera is going to talk astana come on high the his life for us and then it is hard to state come on just how important this visit is to pakistan who really left no stone unturned in welcoming this huge saudi delegation. absolutely because the relationship between august on and solidarity be in order to on and saudi arabia of god is seen as a major ally because whenever there has been a natural there doctor or something that so did have always come to budgets on. assistance and given considerable aid but this particular trip is of extreme importance given the fact that august on is it going to me is in very bad shape and planning to sign up to between fifteen to twenty billion dollars of costs he will be given as i would think about the land any moment now where dorner died as

a draft entered into pakistani airspace that fighter jets of the bugs on board then join the craft and are giving him as guard as we speak the foreign minister of saudi arabia to the bed of god landed before the rains arrive and we know that come on what pakistan is suffering from this message but what will saudi arabia want to investing so much of the country so continuing to invest so much of the country. it's a very interesting question because if you're a member of the gold and so do you want it by your standards then don't swords forte's into your pockets on the bottom end then hey an emergency session of the war against sending ground troops to yemen that day would be nor involvement in that wall just on and so david have been strategic allies they've had military

maneuver from time to time and there's a considerable presence of targets on the troops in saudi arabia august on also making it clear that troops would be used only india event of an attack on saudi arabia the pakistani prime minister even going there saying that progress on board and allow anyone to attack so indeed strong language but did it. and people but it is the relationship is red and it's not just analogies it transcends the whoever they may be the relations between these two countries that remain strong. has to be carefully to balance that foreign policy and. neighborhood would get on faith it is reading to do because it has strong relation to read it and has tried to stay all in a. confrontation or rivalry thank you very much for that that has come out hind

alive and thank you. a twenty four hour curfew is in force an indian administered kashmir after a suicide bombing killed at least forty security personnel on thursday india's government issued a safety warning following reports of kashmiris being targeted in response to the incident they have been called for a shutdown to protest against revenge attacks in the city and other parts of india . was the worst of its kind in the thirty year conflict in the himalayan region. the situation too in bad sub attackers did a lot of damage to public property we are appealing to the people of germany whichever community they belong to to identify the people responsible for the attack so that in future the brotherhood that we have here can be very team a happy man jacob is the director of the indoor park conflicts monitor and he says meeting muslims are being targeted despite extra security measures. there is a normal good going to do in this very boat that inside because you know and or

slow in the gym will be good but they couldn't do appreciate it was steve's happy that the media capital of the state in general which is a digital media to our city as well as you know a lot almost exactly dark at that the police of course is taking steps to ensure that it doesn't happen anymore but to take it cue from dr you also have such incidents you have beat it beat it other parts of the country including it in the not got any good it will turn around and some other places the government of india has issued a. notification to the local police to take action when necessary but that's you know that's that's and that in my opinion is not good at that given the fact that there is an election been up in the book my style and given the fact that this is a video writing party that is in power bt has been the boss tended to install those

right wing feelings but i'm here to talk meetings with his visitors to some extent at least and it was me but i think it's needed so i think the political leadership by mr downwards would have to but it clearly is you statements and warnings to the governor make is that these are actually lot. of things to eight people have been killed in a fire in the bond of a support city of chiefs of all the five broke out in a slum and gotten nearly two hundred homes well then fifty people have been engine five to say it may have been caused by short circuit. people in libya marking the eighth anniversary of the start of the two thousand and eleven revolution process in benghazi eventually led to the toughening of longtime look at a moment of offie libyan celebrating being free of a leadership that spanned four decades but while many say much has changed political divisions are still taking their toll and the country let's go talk last fun just like look at that while he is joining us live from tripoli so how is the

anniversary being mocked family home. well elizabeth as i'm a standing here in this that leads up to the main is square the model square of tripoli where many people families are heading out of driving around heading up to the square where they're going to celebrate and mark the anniversary this anniversary as you know elizabeth comes amid political rivalries division and military conflict but you can. as we have spoken to people there are kind of three categories of people in libya these days the first category of the seventeenth of february volution reasons that are celebrating the anniversary no matter what despite all the consequence is that people have suffered from during the past eight years despite all the internal conflicts the second category is those who are supporting the warlords and many of those people are now with

a great thing the fact that they have who's up against gadhafi because they say that they have lost a lot of the country have. the country has slipped into chaos economic decline and political division the third category of libyans is there those who support the slain leader moammar gadhafi and they are now of course the they are now against this anniversary they will not celebrating in all cases but you know elizabeth this anniversary what is new this year is that there is a new trend of revolutionaries some of those who was up against a man who could have eight years ago are now forming a new collusion a new coalition of the revolutionaries to accuse the warlords or have them but generally speaking the streets are being dictated where they're only hindus flags

as you can see behind me and people are heading to the square to celebrate its anniversary of the seventeenth of february and so celebrations mahmoud despite the divisions and on the eighth anniversary what are the prospects of those political divisions being resolved. well many people there are counting on their international efforts to solve the libyan crisis like their united nations support the mission's efforts to put an end to the libyan crisis to convince the world factions the rival political is to adopt dialogue instead of. military confrontations we understand that the country this and it will see the country is going through military confrontations between forces loyal to world safer have to and those who support this incidence of further of illusion you know elizabeth have little forces control the east of the country and they're now gaining ground and so many people are worried that after the threats made by then

he's going to have the west to take control of the capital tripoli many people in tripoli and worried that they won't be able to celebrate this anniversary anymore and have to reach the capital tripoli as of now thank you very much for that islam with at their head joining us live from tripoli thank you. right it is time for the weather with rob now the south american rains have once again been destructive i'm expressing as most the rain falls to fill the reservoir strickly brazil in the summer but it sometimes feels to have the four days ago this happened in bolivia. actually so the rains when they fall heavily particularly where there's been a bit of did neutering of the trees you get landslides this happened just outside pass but you can see the line which is actually a fairly good climatological line because it's through brazil and back towards bolivia down towards peru and the white top plans the heaviest rain so the heaviest is move away really from bolivia down towards brazil and these places not far away

from sao paolo and from rio exactly where you do collect the the rain in the reservoirs for the rest populous past of brazil now it's likely that we'll see this rain continue in the next day or so and this still a risk i think up in the hard ground in bolivia and in peru all of these showers continue largely generated by daytime heating so most dire overnight that's what you just saw and come back again by day less so in brazil with the rains kind go all the time there it is summer here if we run north of the constant it's beautiful weather in central america tall and in north america course mid-winter and the rains here been a story in california in the napa valley near san francisco and indeed in the south was similar effect unfortunately vines on the water there's not much more to come i have to say most of the snow and rain is nine further east again this post thank you very much rob still ahead on the new. area it's questions are

raised how much it'll cost the country the vatican expelled a former u.s. cut a lot of sex abuse allegations. ever saying that's coming up a page. if you want to learn above the world might look like very serious regard hundred degrees in the extreme example of the predicament the whole world is going through . seems mass immigration story we had some. question as we can recall chores and the problem is that the culture of that these. cars should suit some great indoors user is not comfortable with european culture this is not like food fascists. triumphal march. dreams of conquests then go for

global try. this is very very uneventful glide towards the precipice without resistance we are past the danger is already happened. it was then just ten years ago. now this is it. good to have you with us on the al-jazeera news our beings are our top stories iran's foreign minister has warned world leaders that there's heightened risk of conflict with israel he also criticized what he called washington's obsession with

his country after u.s. wise president mike pence called on e.u. leaders to with a troll on the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal. the u.s. special representative to syria for the withdrawal of american troops will not be abrupt all rapid james jeffrey and says it will be a step by step process speaking in munich he address concerns from allies of the president trumps decision to pull out. two thousand troops from syria and saudi arabia's crown prince is due to arrive in islamabad his first trip to the country since he was appointed as to throw momma been cylons as it will see him hold talks with a funny prime minister emraan khan and sign a number of investment deals now president donald trump's pick for ambassador to the u.n. has withdrawn her name from consideration at the now it says it's the best interest of a family the state department spokeswoman and former fox news anchor described the past two months since she was nominated as proving trump is expected to announce her replacement soon. let's get more on this now we're joined by bit prone he's

a former u.s. diplomat and president of the crisis communications consulting firm the global situation room and he's joining us live from pennsylvania very good to have you with us on al-jazeera are you surprised by now it's you know withdrawing. from the nomination given the lack of policy experience yeah i think a lot of folks on capitol hill were surprised when donald trump nominated her to be america's representative to the united nations this is the big leagues of diplomacy and while she certainly had served competently as spokesperson at the state department and previously as a reporter for fox news she didn't have any experience in the goshi ations she didn't have any background in making policy and that i think had a number of republicans concerned so they're breathing a sigh of relief at this hour and what does that tell us does that tell us anything about this administration or the president that someone with

a complete lack of policy experience was the president's nominee for one of the biggest jobs in international diplomacy. i think it shows how little regard trump and his administration have for diplomacy it's this notion that anyone can do it and yet if you look back over the course of the last two years they've really struggled in trying to make new deals even to negotiate changes to existing deals we've got the north korea summit around to coming out and they haven't even been able to extract any significant concessions from kim jong un so i think this is a case quite frankly of learning the hard way and how do you know mention that trumps expected to announce have a place and then soon how difficult a position is this given the trump and ministration and the president's you know very isolationist worldview well i think the united nations the united nations security council in particular takes on increased importance at

a time when the president is shining other international fora other international organizations so the burden the is quite significant on this person to try to keep the ship moving in a direction that is at least somewhat constructive nikki haley our former ambassador to the u.n. was given decent marks war efforts on that and i think you need somebody of a similar background somebody who has been a leader on the national if not world stage and a you hearing anything at all about who the possible nominees will be. there are two people whose names have immediately popped into consideration the first is richard grinnell our ambassador to germany the second is kelly crafter ambassador to canada and we are certainly at this hour looking at others that trump may be considering this apparent that you very much for your time and you insights on this we do appreciate it that is for

you and joining us live from pennsylvania thank you. thank you. now the u.s. military has a left of tons of aid to the colombian town of coca on the venezuelan border president nicolas maduro meanwhile is blocking the shipments he's accusing washington of sending off the crumbs while waging an economic war food and medicine from the u.s. have become a critical issue in the powell struggle between the president and opposition need to find why though john hendren of polls massive u.s. c. seventeen cargo planes bearing aid made the journey from florida's homestead air force base to colombia but the hardest part of the journey lies ahead the short trip over the border to venezuela venezuelan president nicolas maduro has ordered the army not to let it in he says the aid comes with strings from the u.s. which he says plans to use it as a trojan horse to overthrow his regime. opposition leader who proclaimed

himself interim president held a rally in caracas before supporters. today were here saying to the world dressed in white that our movement is profoundly peaceful but our movement is also profoundly determined and it's not foolish for being peaceful nor is it going to stay stalled no sir it is profoundly determined that not only humanitarian aid enter but that the usurpation stops once and for all the u.s. military airlifted tons of aid hoping to undermine me in his struggle against who now has the backing of more than fifty nations including the u.s. says he has hundreds of thousands of volunteers ready to distribute the aid and urge the army to lead it in. also throws the message to the venezuelan armed forces seven days for humanitarian aid to enter a week for you to do the right thing to put yourselves not only on the side of the constitution we are authorizing the entrance of not only humanitarian aid but also

humanity is no exaggeration to say the aid comes with strings the u.s. operation is designed to foment regime change and that's why much of the international aid community is not joining in the international committee for the red cross and united nations relief agencies are refusing to coordinate with the u.s. they say aid should not come with strings. retains the backing of russia and china and claims to have brought nine hundred thirty three tons of medical supplies from china cuba and russia. is calling for nationwide protests this week to support volunteers planning to travel to the border with colombia to bring the u.s. aid john hendren. washington. nigeria's military has rescued at least eighty people held captive by criminals in the northwestern state. and air force spokesman says men women and children from local communities are among those freed in the operation six suspected gang members have been arrested now bad weather sabotage

and logistical challenges are being blamed for delaying nigeria's election a last minute decision to postpone the ballot by a week or many in the country off god the electoral commission says many states simply want to ready it called for more time to ensure what it called free and fair elections perhaps the most serious of the fire incident a number of it will come which destroyed the whole thousand six hundred smart patriots. to. this point at least six months. we have practiced pretty tough. from this bomb or putting up a. smart car going to go across the county within twenty four hours and deliver them for elections because you know none of us to all these challenges mean but there have been differences in preparations for one state to another where the

postponement has been a major inconvenience for millions of voters especially those who took the long and expensive journeys to cost their ballots there are also concerns that the decision could lead to low turnout ultimate taso has more from lagos. some nigerians say the postponement of presidential and parliamentary elections by a week is disappointing frustrating and a national embarrassment many people had to travel long distances to vote with the head registered long my family don't produce because of the election. i've been the way you start to come on votes all suddenly we just all bad electrons. used in spins from. the election commission announced a delay just hours before polls was due to open on saturday saying delays in transporting election material and sabotage are to blame get in here now to tell me the idea let me not do what i can live in or tell you that i do like it or not even

you have to postpone why i was to come back to come and cast my last because it's my civic rights it's as simple as that but questions are being asked about how much it's going to cost nigeria to reschedule the polls nigeria is africa's the biggest economy but that hasn't translated into jobs it's estimated more than nineteen million people live in extreme poverty the election delay will mean it will cost more money some nigerians say could have been used elsewhere nigeria has postponed elections before in twenty eleven and twenty fifteen economists say this is already affecting the economy. and the business community that's why he's turned off costs you know and now we have to now see a situation where this really has to be deterred mystery and unfortunately between now and next week we're likely to see a lot. of some of these first time voters insist despite the delay they are
